SAVE THE DATE
Don't miss the chance to check out Cosmic House, the idiosyncratic family home of late architect and landscape artist Charles Jencks, which is considered to be one of the key landmarks in the development of PostModernist architecture. Mark April 18 in your diary, when tickets for May tours go on sale (at 12pm prompt); spaces are limited due to the museum's prime residential Holland Park location. jencksfoundation.org
DAYTRIPPER
Other notable properties also worth snooping around reopen in April. Farleys House, home of surrealists Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, is worth the trip to East Sussex alone (combine it with nearby Charleston, holiday home of the Bloomsbury Set, and an amble around pretty Lewes). In Hertfordshire, the home and gardens of sculptor Henry Moore opens on April 16 with Encounters, exploring the interactions between Moore and the people and objects in his orbit.farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk; henry-moore.org
